There have been subsequent power struggles within the organization, but those have had nothing to do with Jocketty; rather, the occurred because when he was fired there was competition for the owner’s ear, which before was Jocketty’s.

No. I don’t miss him. He refused to change with the times and was using an out-dated model that hampers competitive ability in the new economic structure of baseball. He pretty much knows one way to build a team, and if you don’t have a large payroll, his typical approach isn’t successful. IMO, he is getting credit for the Cinci players catching lightning in a bottle in 2010, even though he had little to do with that roster composition. If I was a Red’s fan, I would not be happy at all about the handling of the Alonso and Chapman situations so far….as a Cardinal fan, I am perfectly content with how those things have worked out.
